...a delicate and lacy little heart made from thread.
The lady that made it has since passed away and I don't know where the pattern is from--if you know who came up with this originally, please let me know because I would like to credit the designer--so after a wee bit of study I worked up one of my own.
First this one.
Then this one.
Then some more.
They are so unusual and fun that I thought I would share the "LOVE" by writing up the pattern I came up with for it. I changed things up--not just with color--but with an extra bit of edging,too.
It also has instructions for making the hanging chain, a fun little chaining method I just came up with today. It has probably been done before but I have never seen it. I made it by holding two colors together and then 'taking turns' completing a chain stitch with each color. (It looks so much tidier than chaining with both of them together, as the strands blend unevenly--know what I mean?).
I'm pretty happy with the end result--a little Valentine love that I can share with you--I call it "From the Heart" Bunting.
They make sweet little coasters, too.
If you find any errors on the pattern, please let me know at feltedbutton@gmail.com as I have not tested this one. And I always love to see pictures of other's projects--so please share the "love" back! The best way to do that is via Facebook. If you haven't 'liked' the page click here and keep in the "Button" loop.
If you aren't following this blog via email, please do--that way you'll stay abreast of the newest patterns and happenings here at Felted Button. (It's up there at the top of my sidebar.)

Dear Susan, How did you know I wanted to make some hearts before Valentine's?! :) I am going to try this right away. Most of all I like the hanging chain. I have used this technique in embroidery but never in crochet. Thank you for the patterns.
Have a great week. Love.
Thanks, Sangeetha! I hope you enjoy the pattern. BTW, I love your roses in your most recent post! You are so talented!
Love the hearts. And that alternating chain! Love it all. Thanks for sharing.

This is such a lovely heart shape. I have been hooking my heart out recently using the royal sister granny sqaure style one. This one looks extra special though. X
Very pretty!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the pattern. I can hardly wait to make these!
These little hearts are so cute! And I love the chain you made with them! Well done!
